I'm a full-stack developer with over 4 years of professional experience in web development, currently based in Serbia. After working in a several software companies as a front-end and back-end developer, I became a full time freelancer in 2014. As a multidisciplinary professional, I have a solid experience in the overall process of software product creation - from design and planning, to development and marketing / sales activities.

In my spare time, I am also a videographer and wannabe writer. When not coding my personal projects, I enjoy taking out my Canon DSLR and creating short films and landscape footage.

Some projects I've worked on

During my web development career I have worked on numerous and diverse projects. Unfortunately, some of my best work was done under the NDA agreements (and some were in-house projects), so I am unable to display them as a part of my portfolio. Here you can see some of the projects that I am allowed to showcase. In some cases, the links are still valid, while others either expired or I never got the final web urls from the clients. If you have any additional questions about specific projects, feel free to send me a message.
